I leave for 5 mins and then the feels hit. But in all seriousness the last fest was one of the greatest things I've done. Everybody I met was awesome, and it really felt like one big family. I'm looking forward to the next fest.

It's like that at EVERY fest!! I do have to brag a little as I was at the very first one. That was just amazing because it was the first one, but it has grown more and more in a good way ever since. And that is mainly due to the people attending and truly understanding what the fest is about... making new friends and sharing a passion.

Will do! I was thinking 70-80 for the windshield too, so hopefully 60% wont be too dark. I want to cut down on glare at night from traffic and heat during the day so those should be easily achieved with this. I've had 35% on the windshield before and that was fantastic during the day with 5% on the rest of the windows lol

What are your sides at currently? With 45% you can definitely tell someone is in the car during the day. At night its a different story depending on the angle you walk up to the car.

We can kidnap her next year so she makes it to fest if we have to!

Kidnapping is a federal offense...

Baytown was my first. But I have to say, last year's was incredibly special to me. I met so many great people. People I know that will be friends for life. I had an amazing time. I don't know if last year's fest can ever be topped.

Just found out a friend got killed on his motorcycle an hour or so ago. Someone pulled out in front of him.

20% makes it kinda difficult to see inside from different angles but straight through the windows you can see there's someone in the car but can't tell who it is. With my old car I had 35% on the windshield and 5% on the rest and that was impossible to see into at all at night even under street lights and you could kinda see into it during the day. Like barely during the day

My Jeep had 28% on it. That was perfect

This guy isn't going to be a happy camper if I have to stay at work because of that tropical storm. It's supposed to hit FL Sunday night/Monday morning. Monday I have plans...... Like drop my car off to get my Pfadt solid subframe bushings installed.

I was perfectly happy with 20% before I got pulled over and told it had to be removed. So now I'm on the hunt to find a 'legal' looking solution lol

I would say that's a good reason to not stay there because of the storm lol
